It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen. - Jerome K. Jerome

High school senior Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) decides to skip school on a spring day by faking an illness, and then encourages his girlfriend Sloane and his pessimistic best friend Cameron to spend the day in Chicago as one of their last flings before they head off to different colleges. Ferris manages to convince Cameron to let them use his father's restored 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California to travel into the city. The only two people who are not convinced of Ferris' deception are his younger sister Jeanie, outraged at Ferris' ability to easily defy authority, and the school Dean of Students Edward Rooney, believing Ferris to be truant.
